Sink repair in Ham, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are often asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What affects the price in Ham
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Ham: your questions answered
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
